Iran paraded two Shahed drones through its capital, Tehran, in a public display that drew crowds of onlookers, according to footage of the event.
Crowds cheered and waved national flags as the drones were moved through the city, in what appeared to be a show of the country's drone capabilities to the public.
Shahed drones have become one of the more widely recognized elements of Iran's military drone program in recent years, with versions of the aircraft reported to have been used and exported in various regional conflicts.
Iranian state media and officials have periodically highlighted the country's drone and missile programs as part of broader displays of military capability, though the specific occasion for Wednesday's parade was not detailed in the available reporting.
No further details on the specific models paraded or the event's organizers were included in the available coverage of the parade.
